The accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements. 6 PLAYBOY ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (A) BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial information included in these financial statements is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all normal recurring and other adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The interim results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of those results and cash flows for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Certain amounts reported for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. (B) RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES In 2002, we announced a Company-wide restructuring initiative in order to reduce our ongoing operating expenses. The restructuring resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 11%, or 70 positions. In connection with the restructuring, we reported a $5.7 million charge in 2002, of which $2.9 million related to the termination of 53 employees. The remaining positions were eliminated through attrition. The initiative also involved consolidation of our office space in Los Angeles and Chicago, resulting in a charge of $2.8 million. Approximately $3.1 million of the total $5.7 million of restructuring costs was paid by September 30, 2003, with most of the remainder to be paid in 2003 and 2004 and payments continuing through 2007. In 2001, we implemented a restructuring plan in anticipation of a continuing weak economy. The plan included a reduction in workforce coupled with vacating portions of certain office facilities by combining operations for greater efficiency, refocusing sales and marketing, outsourcing some operations and reducing overhead expenses. Total restructuring charges of $4.6 million were recorded, including, in 2002, a $0.9 million unfavorable adjustment to the previous estimate due primarily to a change in sublease assumptions. The restructuring resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 15%, or 104 positions, with employees from the Online Group accounting for more than half of the workforce reduction. Of the $4.6 million charge, $2.6 million related to the termination of 88 employees. The remaining positions were eliminated through attrition. The charge also included $2.0 million related to excess space in our Chicago and New York offices. Of the total $4.6 million of costs related to this restructuring plan, approximately $3.8 million was paid by September 30, 2003, with most of the remainder to be paid in 2003 and payments continuing through 2007. (C) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE The following table represents the approximate number of potential shares of our Class B common stock, or Class B stock, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share, or EPS, as the inclusion of these shares would have been antidilutive (in thousands): (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Quarters Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ---------------- ----------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stock options 2,875 2,745 3,155 2,660 Convertible preferred stock 1,535 -- 1,535 -- Restricted stock awards -- 250 -- 255 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 4,410 2,995 4,690 2,915 ================================================================================ As a result, the weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares outstanding for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were equivalent. 7 (D) INVENTORIES, NET Inventories, net, which are stated at the lower of cost (specific cost and average cost) or fair value, consisted of the following (in thousands): (Unaudited) Sept. 30, Dec. 31, 2003 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper $ 3,173 $ 2,470 Editorial and other prepublication costs 7,231 5,992 Merchandise finished goods 2,455 2,036 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total inventories, net $12,859 $10,498 ================================================================================ (E) MINORITY INTEREST Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets reflected "Minority interest" of $10.7 million and $9.7 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. These amounts represented a series of preferred stock of Playboy.com, Inc., or Playboy.com. The amount at March 31, 2003 also included two series of PEI Holdings, Inc., or Holdings, preferred stock, which were issued in March 2003. In connection with a sale of senior secured notes in March 2003, we restructured the outstanding indebtedness of Playboy.com owed to Mr. Hefner. Three promissory notes in the aggregate of $27.2 million were extinguished in exchange for $0.5 million in cash and two series of Holdings preferred stock. On May 1, 2003, we exchanged the Series A preferred stock of Holdings, which we refer to as the Holdings Series A Preferred Stock, plus accumulated dividends for 1,122,209 shares of Playboy Class B stock and exchanged the Series B preferred stock of Holdings, which we refer to as the Holdings Series B Preferred Stock, for 1,674 shares of a new series of preferred stock of Playboy, which we refer to as Playboy Preferred Stock. The Playboy Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 8.00% per annum which are paid semi-annually. (F) CONTINGENCIES On February 17, 1998, Eduardo Gongora, or Gongora, filed suit in state court in Hidalgo County, Texas against Editorial Caballero SA de CV, or EC, Grupo Siete International, Inc., or GSI, collectively the Editorial Defendants, and us. In the complaint, Gongora alleged that he was injured as a result of the termination of a publishing license agreement, or the License Agreement, between us and EC for the publication of a Mexican edition of Playboy magazine, or the Mexican Edition. We terminated the License Agreement on or about January 29, 1998 due to EC's failure to pay royalties and other amounts due us under the License Agreement. On February 18, 1998, the Editorial Defendants filed a cross-claim against us. Gongora alleged that in December 1996 he entered into an oral agreement with the Editorial Defendants to solicit advertising for the Mexican Edition to be distributed in the United States. The basis of GSI's cross-claim was that it was the assignee of EC's right to distribute the Mexican Edition in the United States and other Spanish-speaking Latin American countries outside of Mexico. On May 31, 2002, a jury returned a verdict against us in the amount of $4.4 million. Under the verdict, Gongora was awarded no damages. GSI and EC were awarded $4.1 million in out-of-pocket expenses and $0.3 million for lost profits, respectively, even though the jury found that EC had failed to comply with the terms of the License Agreement. On October 24, 2002, the trial court signed a judgment against us for $4.4 million plus pre- and post-judgment interest and costs. On November 22, 2002, we filed post-judgment motions challenging the judgment in the trial court. The trial court overruled those motions and we are vigorously pursuing an appeal with the State Appellate Court sitting in Corpus Christi challenging the verdict. We have posted a bond in the amount of approximately $7.7 million (which represents the amount of the verdict, costs and estimated pre- and post-judgment interest) in connection with the appeal. We, on advice of legal counsel, believe that it is not probable that a material judgment against us will be sustained. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No., or Statement, 5, Accounting for Contingencies, no liability has been accrued. 8 (G) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The following pro forma information presents our net loss and basic and diluted EPS assuming stock-based compensation expense had been determined consistent with Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts): (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Quarters Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------- -------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net loss As reported $ (610) $ (639) $ (883) $(13,090) Pro forma (1) (1,321) (1,613) (2,311) (15,465) Basic and diluted EPS As reported (0.03) (0.01) (0.05) (0.51) Pro forma (1) $ (0.06) $ (0.06) $ (0.11) $ (0.61) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Amounts for the current year nine-month period reflect the cancellation of a significant number of stock options.

On September 17, 2003, the Old Notes were exchanged for new 11.00% senior secured notes due in 2010, which we refer to as the New Notes. The form and terms of the New Notes are identical in all material respects (including principal amount, interest rate, maturity, ranking and covenant restrictions) to the form and terms of the Old Notes, except that the New Notes (a) have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, (b) do not bear restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act, (c) are not entitled to the registration rights that apply to the Old Notes and (d) do not contain provisions relating to liquidated damages in connection with the Old Notes under circumstances related to the timing of the exchange offer. The payment obligations under the New Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, by us and by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries, referred to as the guarantors, excluding Playboy.com and its subsidiaries. All of our remaining subsidiaries, referred to as the nonguarantors, are wholly-owned by the guarantors except for Playboy.com and its subsidiaries, which are majority-owned subsidiaries. The following supplemental Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, present financial information for (a) us (carrying our investment in Holdings under the equity method), (b) Holdings, the issuer of the New Notes (carrying its investment in the guarantors under the equity method), (c) on a combined basis the guarantors (carrying any investment in nonguarantors under the equity method) and (d) on a combined basis the nonguarantors. Separate financial statements of the guarantors are not presented because the guarantors are jointly, severally, and unconditionally liable under the guarantees, and we believe that separate financial statements and other disclosures regarding the guarantors are not material to investors. In general, Holdings has entered into third-party borrowings and financed its subsidiaries via intercompany accounts. All intercompany activity has been included as "Net receipts from (payments to) subsidiaries" in the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows. In certain cases, taxes have been calculated on the basis of a group position that includes both guarantors and nonguarantors. In such cases, the taxes have been allocated to individual legal entities based upon each legal entity's actual contribution to the tax provision. 10 PLAYBOY ENTERPRISES, INC.

Our revenues increased approximately 10% for both the quarter and nine-month period primarily due to higher online subscription revenues and international licensing royalties. In addition, as previously disclosed, our increased ownership in Playboy TV International, LLC, or PTVI, at the end of 2002, resulted in favorable revenue comparisons. Operating income improved significantly for both the quarter and nine-month period, mostly due to the better online subscription revenues and licensing royalties described above, both of which are high-margin businesses. The positive performance in the Online and Licensing Groups was partially offset by expected lower revenues and operating income from our worldwide DVD/home video business. Operating income from the Publishing Group was lower in the current year quarter, but improved for the nine-month period. 16 The net loss for the current year nine-month period included $3.3 million of debt extinguishment expenses in connection with financing obligations which were repaid upon completion of our debt offering in the first quarter. The prior year nine-month period included a $5.8 million noncash income tax charge related to our adoption of Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Several of our businesses can experience variations in quarterly performance. As a result, our performance in any quarter is not necessarily reflective of full-year or longer-term trends. Playboy magazine newsstand revenues vary from issue to issue, with revenues generally higher for holiday issues and any issues including editorial or pictorial features that generate unusual public interest. Advertising revenues also vary from quarter to quarter depending on economic conditions, product introductions by advertising customers, holiday issues and changes in advertising buying patterns. E-commerce revenues are typically impacted by the holiday buying season and, along with online subscription revenues, decreased Internet traffic during the summer months. ENTERTAINMENT GROUP The following discussion focuses on the profit contribution of each of our Entertainment Group businesses before programming expense. Revenues from our domestic TV networks business increased $0.9 million, or 4%, for the quarter resulting in flat revenues for the nine-month comparison. We believe revenues continue to be impacted by theft of service which we also believe is an area of focus for the operators. We believe that revenues have also been impacted by customer resistance to pricing for basic and premium services and the resulting dissatisfaction with the overall value of digital service. In general, our networks are digital services and we are therefore negatively affected by customer churn in digital cable. The quarter and nine-month period both reflected higher revenues related to Playboy TV en Espanol. Profit contribution for the quarter and nine-month period increased slightly. Both periods were impacted by lower amortization of intangibles acquired in the Califa acquisition as their contractual lives are expiring and higher distribution costs and overhead related to our new production facility. For both the quarter and nine-month period, profit contribution from our international TV business increased on revenue increases of $5.3 million and $15.3 million, respectively. In the current year we began consolidating our international TV operations as a result of the December 2002 restructuring of the ownership of our international TV joint ventures. The prior year quarter and nine-month period included $2.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively, in licensing fees from the PTVI joint venture, at which time we owned a minority interest. For both the quarter and nine-month period, profit contribution from our worldwide DVD/home video business decreased on revenue decreases of $1.0 million, or 41%, and $4.7 million, or 54%, respectively. Both the quarter and nine-month period reflected lower domestic sales of $1.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively, due to fewer titles released in the current year periods, reduced distribution outlets and the absence of last year's continuity series. In addition, the nine-month comparison was impacted by a large domestic sale of backlist titles in the prior year period and lower international revenues of $1.4 million primarily as a result of revenues from a large Korean contract being recorded in the prior year period. The group's administrative expenses increased for both the quarter and nine-month period mainly due to higher legal expenses in the current year periods. As projected at the start of the year, Entertainment Group profitability for the full year 2003 is expected to be below 2002 due to the continuing lower worldwide DVD/home video revenues, flat domestic TV revenues, higher legal costs and overhead related to our new production facility. 17 PUBLISHING GROUP Playboy magazine revenues decreased $0.8 million, or 3%, for the quarter as higher newsstand revenues were more than offset by $1.2 million lower advertising revenues as a result of the previously announced fewer ad pages. For the nine-month period, Playboy magazine revenues increased $0.1 million as $2.3 million higher newsstand revenues, mainly due to several strong-selling issues which also carried higher cover prices, were mostly offset by $1.8 million lower ad revenues. The ad revenues were lower as a result of fewer ad pages, partially offset by higher average net revenue per page. Ad sales for the 2003 fourth quarter magazine issues are closed, and we expect to report 64% higher ad revenues and 60% more ad pages compared to the 2002 fourth quarter. We expect that all three fourth quarter issues will be up in pages year-over-year, ending with Playboy's 50th anniversary issue. This is expected to result in 11% and 8% increases in ad revenues and pages, respectively, for 2003 compared to 2002. Revenues from our other domestic publishing businesses increased $0.2 million, or 6%, for the quarter and $0.9 million, or 10%, for the nine-month period primarily due to a price increase for special editions, partially offset by fewer copies sold. The group's segment performance decreased $0.9 million for the quarter and increased $2.3 million for the nine-month period. The quarter and nine-month period reflected lower manufacturing costs of $0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, driven by lower print runs, the fewer ad pages and lower paper prices, combined with the higher Playboy magazine newsstand revenues. The impact of these factors was more than offset for the quarter and partially offset for the nine-month period by the lower Playboy magazine ad revenues combined with higher editorial costs of $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The higher editorial costs were due in part to celebrity expenses, which drove newsstand sales, and transitional costs associated with moving editorial staff from Chicago to New York. We expect to incur additional transitional costs in the fourth quarter. ONLINE GROUP The Online Group's revenues increased $1.7 million, or 24%, for the quarter and $5.2 million, or 24%, for the nine-month period primarily due to significant increases in subscription revenues of $1.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively, due to the launch of several higher-priced subscription services that were not available in the prior year combined with the increased price and number of members of Playboy Cyber Club. Increased circulation helped improve e-commerce revenues by $0.7 million for the quarter and $1.2 million for the nine-month period. These revenue increases were offset in part by lower other revenues of $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the quarter and nine-month period, respectively, in large part due to lower advertising revenues. The group reported segment income of $0.5 million and $0.9 million in the current year quarter and nine-month period, respectively, compared to losses of $2.1 million and $8.6 million in the comparable prior year periods. These improvements were attributable to the higher revenues combined with a lower cost structure. The current and prior year quarters and nine-month periods included $1.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of trademark and administrative fees paid to the parent company. LICENSING GROUP For the quarter and nine-month period, segment income from our Licensing Group increased $0.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, on revenue increases of $0.7 million, or 27%, and $3.4 million, or 33%, respectively. Higher brand licensing royalties from our international products business were mainly responsible for the improved performances in both periods. The sale in the current year of an original painting by Salvador Dali for $1.9 million, partially offset by $0.7 million of income in the prior year from an auction of a small portion of our art and memorabilia collection, also contributed to the nine-month comparison. CORPORATE ADMINISTRATION AND PROMOTION Corporate Administration and Promotion expenses increased $0.3 million, or 7%, for the quarter while expenses for the nine-month period decreased $0.2 million, or 1%. The quarter and nine-month period both reflected our continued focus on cost control measures more than offset by, and partially offset by, respectively, benefit-related expenses. 18 INCOME TAX EXPENSE Our income tax provision consists primarily of foreign income tax related to our international networks and withholding tax on licensing income for which we do not receive a current U.S. income tax benefit. The tax provision also includes noncash deferred federal and state income tax related to the amortization of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles as a result of the adoption of Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 2003, we had $25.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $115.0 million in total financing obligations compared to $4.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $92.5 million in total financing obligations at December 31, 2002. The financing obligations at December 31, 2002 included $27.2 million in obligations payable to Mr. Hefner by Playboy.com. As discussed below, we and Mr. Hefner agreed to exchange his $27.2 million of promissory notes issued by Playboy.com for cash and our equity securities. Our liquidity requirements are being provided by the cash generated from our private offering of $115.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes. In addition, we have a $20.0 million revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2003, there were no borrowings and $11.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility. DEBT FINANCINGS On March 11, 2003, we completed the private offering of $115.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes of our subsidiary, Holdings. On September 17, 2003, the Old Notes were exchanged for the New Notes. The form and terms of the New Notes are identical in all material respects (including principal amount, interest rate, maturity, ranking and covenant restrictions) to the form and terms of the Old Notes. The New Notes mature on March 15, 2010 and bear interest at the rate of 11.00% per annum, with interest payable on March 15th and September 15th of each year, beginning September 15, 2003. On March 11, 2003, Holdings also entered into a new revolving credit facility, through which we are permitted to borrow up to $20.0 million in revolving borrowings, issue letters of credit or a combination of both. FINANCING FROM RELATED PARTY At December 31, 2002, Playboy.com had an aggregate of $27.2 million of outstanding indebtedness to Mr. Hefner in the form of three promissory notes. Upon the closing of the senior secured notes offering on March 11, 2003, Playboy.com's debt to Mr. Hefner was restructured. One promissory note, in the amount of $10.0 million, was extinguished in exchange for shares of Holdings Series A Preferred Stock with an aggregate stated value of $10.0 million. The two other promissory notes, in a combined principal amount of $17.2 million, were extinguished in exchange for $0.5 million in cash and shares of Holdings Series B Preferred Stock with an aggregate stated value of $16.7 million. Pursuant to the terms of an exchange agreement between us, Holdings, Playboy.com and Mr. Hefner and certificates of designation governing the Holdings Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, we were required to exchange the Holdings Series A Preferred Stock for shares of Playboy Class B stock and to exchange the Holdings Series B Preferred Stock for shares of Playboy Preferred Stock. In order to issue the Playboy Preferred Stock, we were required to amend our certificate of incorporation to authorize the issuance, which we refer to as the certificate amendment. In accordance with applicable law, Mr. Hefner, the holder of more than a majority of our outstanding Class A voting common stock, approved the certificate amendment by written consent. As a result, on May 1, 2003, we filed an amendment to our certificate of incorporation and exchanged the Holdings Series A Preferred Stock plus accumulated dividends for 1,122,209 shares of Playboy Class B stock and exchanged the Holdings Series B Preferred Stock for 1,674 shares of Playboy Preferred Stock. The Playboy Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 8.00% per annum which are paid semi-annually. CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES Net cash provided by financing activities was $25.2 million for the nine-month period principally due to proceeds of $115.0 million related to the private offering of senior secured notes, partially offset by payment of $9.0 million of related financing fees, repayment of former financing obligations of $65.8 million and payment of $14.9 million of acquisition liabilities. 19 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements," including statements in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives and future financial performance, and assumptions underlying or concerning the foregoing. We use words such as "may," "will," "would," "could," "should," "believes," "estimates," "projects," "potential," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "intends," "continues" and other similar terminology. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause our actual results, performance or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. The following are some of the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements: (1) foreign, national, state and local government regulation, actions or initiatives, including: (a) attempts to limit or otherwise regulate the sale, distribution or transmission of adult-oriented materials, including print, video and online materials, (b) limitations on the advertisement of tobacco, alcohol and other products which are important sources of advertising revenue for us, or (c) substantive changes in postal regulations or rates which could increase our postage and distribution costs; (2) risks associated with our foreign operations, including market acceptance and demand for our products and the products of our licensees and our ability to manage the risk associated with our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; (3) changes in general economic conditions, consumer spending habits, viewing patterns, fashion trends or the retail sales environment which, in each case, could reduce demand for our programming and products and impact our advertising revenues; (4) our ability to protect our trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property; (5) risks as a distributor of media content, including our becoming subject to claims for defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement, and other claims based on the nature and content of the materials we distribute; (6) dilution from any potential issuance of additional common stock in connection with financings or acquisitions; (7) competition for advertisers from other publications, media or online providers or any decrease in spending by advertisers, either generally or with respect to the adult male market; (8) competition in the television, men's magazine and Internet markets; (9) attempts by consumers or private advocacy groups to exclude our programming or other products from distribution; (10) the television and Internet businesses' reliance on third parties for technology and distribution, and any changes in that technology and/or unforeseen delays in its implementation which might affect our plans and assumptions; (11) risks associated with losing access to transponders and competition for transponders and channel space; (12) the impact of industry consolidation, any decline in our access to, and acceptance by, DTH and/or cable systems and the possible resulting deterioration in the terms, cancellation of fee arrangements or pressure on margin splits with operators of these systems; (13) risks that we may not realize the expected increased sales and profits and other benefits from acquisitions and the restructuring of our international TV joint ventures; (14) risks associated with the financial condition of Claxson Interactive Group Inc., our Playboy TV-Latin America, LLC joint venture partner; (15) increases in paper or printing costs; (16) effects of the national consolidation of the single-copy magazine distribution system; and (17) uncertainty of the viability of our primarily subscription- and e-commerce-based Internet model. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Effective with the refinancing of our financing obligations, which occurred on March 11, 2003, we no longer have any floating interest rate exposure. All of our current debt is represented by the senior secured notes, which are fixed rate obligations. Therefore, the fair value of the $115.0 million senior secured notes will be influenced by changes in market rates and our credit quality. At September 30, 2003, the notes were trading above par for an implied fair value of $126.5 million. 20 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act. (b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On February 17, 1998, Gongora filed suit in state court in Hidalgo County, Texas against the Editorial Defendants and us. In the complaint, Gongora alleged that he was injured as a result of the termination of the License Agreement between us and EC for the publication of the Mexican Edition. We terminated the License Agreement on or about January 29, 1998 due to EC's failure to pay royalties and other amounts due us under the License Agreement. On February 18, 1998, the Editorial Defendants filed a cross-claim against us. Gongora alleged that in December 1996 he entered into an oral agreement with the Editorial Defendants to solicit advertising for the Mexican Edition to be distributed in the United States. The basis of GSI's cross-claim was that it was the assignee of EC's right to distribute the Mexican Edition in the United States and other Spanish-speaking Latin American countries outside of Mexico. On May 31, 2002, a jury returned a verdict against us in the amount of $4.4 million. Under the verdict, Gongora was awarded no damages. GSI and EC were awarded $4.1 million in out-of-pocket expenses and $0.3 million for lost profits, respectively, even though the jury found that EC had failed to comply with the terms of the License Agreement. On October 24, 2002, the trial court signed a judgment against us for $4.4 million plus pre- and post-judgment interest and costs. On November 22, 2002, we filed post-judgment motions challenging the judgment in the trial court. The trial court overruled those motions and we are vigorously pursuing an appeal with the State Appellate Court sitting in Corpus Christi challenging the verdict. We have posted a bond in the amount of approximately $7.7 million (which represents the amount of the verdict, costs and estimated pre- and post-judgment interest) in connection with the appeal. We, on advice of legal counsel, believe that it is not probable that a material judgment against us will be sustained. In accordance with Statement 5, Accounting for Contingencies, no liability has been accrued. On May 17, 2001, Logix Development Corporation, or Logix, D. Keith Howington and Anne Howington filed suit in state court in Los Angeles County Superior Court in California against Spice Entertainment Companies, Inc., or Spice, Emerald Media, Inc., or EMI, Directrix, Inc., or Directrix, Colorado Satellite Broadcasting, Inc., New Frontier Media, Inc., J. Roger Faherty, Donald McDonald, Jr. and Judy Savar. On February 8, 2002, plaintiffs amended the complaint and added as a defendant Playboy, which acquired Spice in 1999. The complaint alleged 11 contract and tort causes of action arising principally out of a January 18, 1997 agreement between EMI and Logix in which EMI agreed to purchase certain explicit television channels broadcast over C-band satellite. The complaint further seeks damages from Spice based on Spice's alleged failure to provide transponder and uplink services to Logix. Playboy and Spice filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint. The court sustained Playboy's motion as to plaintiffs' fraud and conspiracy claims, but not as to plaintiffs' claims of tortious interference with contract and imposition of constructive trust and granted plaintiffs leave to amend. On June 10, 2002, plaintiffs filed their first amended complaint. In the first amended complaint, plaintiffs allege that the various defendants, including Playboy and Spice, were alter egos of each other. The complaint purports to seek unspecified damages in excess of $10 million. On May 31, 2002, Directrix filed for bankruptcy and on July 8, 2002, Directrix removed the action to the Central District of California Bankruptcy Court. The case was subsequently remanded to state court on October 31, 2002. Playboy and Spice filed motions to dismiss the first amended complaint and on April 4, 2003, the California Superior Court granted Playboy's motion to dismiss without leave to amend. The court signed a final judgment dismissing Playboy on May 9, 2003. Logix then moved for a new trial and that motion was denied on July 21, 2003. The plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal of Playboy's dismissal. When the court dismissed Playboy on April 4, 2003, the court's decision was silent as to Spice's motion to dismiss. Spice then moved for clarification of that order 21 on the grounds that the same statute of limitations theory on which the court dismissed fraud claims against Playboy applied with equal force to certain claims against Spice. On May 19, 2003, the court heard the motion for clarification and on July 21, 2003 issued a final ruling dismissing all claims against Spice except for breach of contract claims. A trial date for the remaining breach of contract claims against Spice has been set for December 10, 2003. Spice and the plaintiffs filed cross-motions for summary judgment or, in the alternative, for summary adjudication, on September 5, 2003. Those motions are set for hearing on November 19, 2003. On September 22, 2003, the plaintiffs filed a petition for writ of mandate, prohibition or other relief which seeks to vacate the trial court's order that dismissed all but the contract claims against Spice. On September 29, 2003, Spice filed a letter brief with the Court of Appeals which preliminarily opposes the writ petition. The writ petition is pending. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims and we believe we have good defenses to them. At this point in the action, however, it is not possible to determine if there is any potential liability or whether any liability may be material or is likely. On September 26, 2002, Directrix filed suit in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York against Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc. In the complaint, Directrix alleged that it was injured as a result of the termination of a Master Services Agreement under which Directrix was to perform services relating to the distribution, production and post production of our cable networks and a sublease agreement under which Directrix would have subleased office, technical and studio space at our Los Angeles, California production facility. Directrix also alleged that we breached an agreement under which Directrix had the right to transmit and broadcast certain versions of films through C-band satellite, commonly known as the TVRO market, and Internet distribution. On November 15, 2002, we filed an answer denying Directrix's allegations, along with counterclaims against Directrix relating to the Sublease Agreement and the Master Services Agreement and seeking damages. On May 15, 2003, we filed an amended answer and counterclaims. On July 30, 2003, Directrix moved to dismiss one of the amended counterclaims, and on October 20, 2003, the Court denied Directrix's motion. Both sides have commenced discovery. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against Directrix's claims. We believe its claims are without merit and that we have good defenses against them. We believe it is not probable that a material judgment against us will result.
